However I think thanks to Steve Jobs, who now has a 100 million ipods out there now goes to scraping drm is a good ploy, i am sure he would not have done that with 50 ipods out there in the market place. He now has his distribution channel...smart man!

It's at least somewhat descriptive what it does... One thing I, personally, have a problem with is the term "Intellectual Property". Property generally refers to something that you own. However, this so called intellectual property (copyright, patents, trademarks etc.) we keep referring to is actually a "temporary restriction to free speech" to benefit the society by motivating innovation. So imo we should start calling intellectual property "intellectual lease" instead to help keep in mind that inventions and works are something that were (at least originally) intended to pass over to public domain).

Remember when in the 80s the RIAA wanted to add a special tax to blank cassette tapes? Feared ppl would just tapes songs off radio and not buy any RIAA product, no more sales of overpriced, boring music industry albums and 12" singles for disco remnants. Blank cassettes did not destroy the revenue streams of the music industry. Crappy bands did that, coupled with dopey hype. Lip synching, mashups, credited use of material only promotes the artist and the label, it will not hurt profits. The dimwits! Protect your stupid vain Product too much, you smother it to death. Good. The dumb ass DRM crowd is shooting itself in the foot.

For example, Philips' MediaHedge and other Content Clearing technology products are more flexible, can work to identify content that's already uploaded and dynamically create a fingerprint database that media clients can use to ID their content. The technology is not rocket science but a lot of it is already patented. Despite any DRM criticism, it's absolutely important for media companies to ID their content on the internet for any potential revenue recognition. I'm also surprised that it's taking media companies so much time to create a central digital content finger print database...

DRM is wrong for many many reasons. But most importantly it is about changing business models and evolution and the ability to safely distribute content. Not limiting access to it.
